Greetings,
As someone who enjoys running mostly linux game servers, I came to AMP for the few games that require windows to host dedicated servers for my friends.
As such, I installed an AMP controller instance, a windows target instance, and a linux (debian) target instance. (still hoping for v-rising to get proper linux support.) Now, it hasn’t been quite 2 weeks yet to let the licenses settle, as I had some issues trying to install on server 2019 core. But I have some questions about the verbiage of the licensing, and I’m showing 6/5 licenses used.
Starting off, I see this in the 5 license AMP professional:
A single AMP Professional licence allows you to run up to 5 AMP application instances at the same time, either all on the same machine or on different machines.
…
AMP licences can be freely moved around between different machines as you please. All that matters is the number of running application instances.
Which I feel is fair enough just for game servers for friends/family. But I’m showing 6 licences used for:
- 1 Host/Controller instance
- 1 Windows Instance (1 game server running)
- 1 Linux Debian server (no game servers currently running)
My assumption would be that, if instances of AMP are counted as part of the amp License, this would be a utilization of 4 of the 5 available licenses.
OR is the proper utilization just 1 of 5 licenses, as only 1 actual game server is running?
What defines an application instance per the terms of this license?
Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding.
